A friend sent this to me and I thought it was timely given our upcoming

Update  on Joe Arpaio   


 
TO  THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO 

HE   IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA   COUNTY  SHERIFF   
AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER  AND OVER   

THIS  IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:
Sheriff  Joe Arpaio   

  
(In   Arizona )   
who  created the 
" Tent   City  Jail":

He  has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving 
(actually 20 cents)and charges the inmates for them.    

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took  away their
weights Cut  off all but "G"  movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work  on county and city
projects. 

Then He Started   
Chain  Gangs   For  Women   
So  He Wouldn't Get   
Sued  For   
Discrimination.

He   took away cable TV Until 
he  found out there was 
A   
Federal  Court Order 
that   
Required  Cable TV For   Jails.   
So  He Hooked Up The Cable   TV  Again 
Only  Let In The Disney Channel And The   Weather  Channel.  

When  asked why the weather channel 
He  Replied,   
So  They   Will  Know   
How  Hot   It's  Gonna Be   
While  They   Are  Working   
ON   
My  Chain Gangs.

He Cut  Off Coffee 
Since  It Has 
Zero  Nutritional Value.

When   the inmates complained, he told them, "This Isn't   
The  Ritz/Carlton. 
If  You Don't Like It, 
Don't  Come Back." 

He  bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on  videotape that he pipes into
the jails. 


More On  The Arizona Sheriff: 

With Temperatures Being Even Hotter   
Than  Usual In Phoenix   

 
(116  Degrees Just Set A New Record), 
the  Associated Press Reports: 
About  2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment   
At  The 
Maricopa   County   Jail  Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To Their
Government-Issued   
Pink  Boxer Shorts.   

On Wednesday,  hundreds of   men  wearing boxers were   either  curled up on
their   b unk beds  or chatted in the tents, which reached 
138   Degrees   
Inside  The Week  Before.

Many Were  Also Swathed In  Wet,  Pink Towels As Sweat   Collected  On Their
Chests   And Dripped  Down To Their   PINK  SOCKS.  

"It  Feels Like We Are In A Furnace," 
Said  James Zanzot,   
An  Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. 
"It's  Inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, 
the  tough-guy sheriff 
who  created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear
pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic   
He  said Wednesday that he told all of the  inmates:   "It's  120  Degrees
In   Iraq  And 
Our  Soldiers Are Living In   Tents  Too, 
And  They Have To 
Wear  Full Battle  Gear, 
But   
They  Didn't Commit Any Crimes, 
So  Shut Your Damned Mouths!" 

Way To  Go, Sheriff!   
Maybe  if all prisons were like this one 
there  would be a lot less crime  and/or repeat   offenders.   
Criminals  should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until
it's  time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they
can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers  can't
afford to have for themselves.   

If you  agree, pass this on. If not, just delete it.
